Building An Industry

All indications point to the probability that this summer will see a
marked increase in traffic on the highways 4nd probably on some of the
more important municipal roads in Western Canada. \

The origin of this increased traffic will be partly local due to improved
crop conditions in many parts of the prairie provinces last year, coupled
with the prospect of better*prices for wheat and other grains should the
war continue and the Allies be able to keep the oceanways open for their
needed supplies of foodstuffs, munitions and other requisitions for warfare

The other factor making for this prospective increase in traffic on
Western Canadian highways this summer is the probability of a substan-
tially augmented number of visitors from the United States on holiday bent,
and in all likelihood this source will provide for the major increase.

In addition to the Atnerican tourists who would have spent their vaca-
tion in this country in the ordinary course of events, Canada is likely to
play host to a large number of the more wealthy residents of the United
States who are accustomed to holidaying in Europe and whose summer
playgrounds are cut off by the war. Their vacation ground is now prac-
tically confined to this continent. Some, no doubt, will go to Mexico or the
West Indies, but, if the war spreads, the majority will feel safer in Central
and Western Canada than anywhere else, except in their ‘own country.

If this premise is sound. many new faces from south of the interna-
tional border will be seen in Western Canada, and the present time appears
to afford an excellent opportunity to Western Canadians to. cement the
friendship which exists between the two countries and to lay the founda-
tions for an enhanced tourist trade for future years

° s
Solidify Friendship

If this traffic is to be encouraged, not only fdr this but in future years,
it is essential that everything possible be done to ensure the comfort and
convenience of those who make Western Canada their holiday playground,
and every possible means should be adopted to dispel the erronous notion
which has been circulated south of the border that wartime means danger
from submarines and mines, higher food prices, irksome restrictions at
ports of entry and within the country, such for instance as prohibition ot
curtailment of the use of cameras and so on. Fortunately, the federal
government has already announced that none of these risks and impedi-
ments exist or will exist, but a bare announcement is not sufficient. The
information must be conveyed to the potentia] visitor and every Western
Canadian who has friends in the United States should do his part in seeing
that this information is as widely circulated as possible in the neighboring
country.

If this traffic is to be built on a solid foundation now. when the oppor-
tunity is available and if good will is to be created and cemented. it is essen-
tia] that the American visitor to Western Canada this summer secure the
full face value of his dollar while purchasing commodities and buying ser-
vices on his vacation trip. Every Canadian who fails to give the incoming
tourist the full premium which the United States dollar enjoys under inter-
national exchange rates is doing a disservice to his own country and is
adopting a short sighted policy.

In view of the future, as well as the immediate present, importance
of the tourist industry special efforts should be made this summer to main-'
tain the highways and major municipal roads of the country in as high a
Btate of efficiency as finances will permit. While war expenditures, of
course, have the right of way, as much as possible should be done to con-
dition the roads, if this country is to make the most of the advantages of.
building up this major industry which the present situation affords. This
entails the necessity of seeing to it that every dollar spent on road construc-
tion or road maintenance does a full dollar's worth of work.

* . ° *
Courtesy Is Important

Apart from these essentials to the promotion of this growing industry
courtesy is not the least important consideration if we are to secure and
retain the goodwill of the customers. This implies, not only courtesy in the
conduct of transactions with the country's guests, which is naturally to “be
expected, but also courtesy on the road. The rules of the road should be
Strictly complied with for they, themselves are based on the spirit of court-
esy and commonsense.

The driver who hogs more than his share of the road, who cuts in front
of others, who passes others on hills and curves at excessive speeds, violates
‘the laws of courtesy and commonsense and is doing his share to drive away
a flourishing trade as well as being a danger to himself and his own coun-
trymen.

A study of highway accidents in the United States by the Travellers’
Insurance Company of Hartford, Conn., reveals the truth of the statement
that virtually all highway accidents are due to the negligence of those in-
volved. Of the accidents studied. it was found that the weather was clear
in 86.7 per cent. of. the cases and the pavement dry in 79.6 per cent. Of
the drivers involved 95.7 per cent. had more than a year's experience and
93.4 per cent. were men. Ninety three per ‘cent. of the cars were in good
condition and 84.5 per cent. were driving on straight open stretches when
tragedy struck. The figures dispose of practically all ‘the usual alibis for
accident causes and leave the driver culpable.

Open Leave Club Again

Australian Serving In Last War Was
. First To Register

The moving spirit of the “Leave
Club’, as during the first Great War,
is Lady Guggisberg——wife of Sir Gor-
don Guggisberg, who was Governor
and commander-in-chief of the Gold
Coast. Lady Guggisberg, formerly a
well-known actress, founder of in-
numerable women's services during
the last war, will be remembered
among the Canadian returned nien
as Miss Decima Moore. She is still
Miss Moore to the troops and to-day
she welcomes to the Leave Club the

son of many a soldier who stayed
there 23 years ago:
‘I was quite touched when we

opened to discover that the first sol-
dier to register was an Australian
whom we had during the last war,”
said Lady Guggisberg. “Of course
the Canadians have not begun to
come yet except a few members of
the R.A.F.. but this will be one of
their homes in France when and for

as long as they wish to use it.” She
smiled a little and added, “You can
tell their mothers that we'}]l look

after them.”
Inside the door and along the long

wide staircase-—-the atmosphere is
entirely British. Flags and sfgns in
English; here a warning: “A lovely
girl--an idle word—.a comrade lost

voices, the smell of good tobacco

One OF Oldest Games

Marbles Played By Egyptians And
Chinese Many Centuries Ago
We thought the game of: marbles
was as extinct as the dodo. Least-
aways we have not seen schoolboys
“knuckling down" on the sidewalks
for many a year. Yet in nearby
Michigan it seems to be flourishing.
A Detroit newspaper is sponsoring a
tournament and has zoned the entire.
State fer preliminary rounds leading
to a grand championship som
later .
The game of marbles is one of the

e weeks

oldest in the world. It was played
by the ancient Egyptians, the
Chinese and the natives of India.

Saxony used to be the world centre}

for the making of marbles. The
marbles which were placed in the
ring were made of baked red clay

and the “knucklers’ were made of
agate or some other hard, smooth
mineral. In our boyhood days, soft-
drink bottles had round glass peb-
bles for stoppers which were pushed
in when one wanted to pour out the

contents. Many a bottle was never
returned because the boys of the
household used to break them in

order to extract the “glasser’ to play
marbles with. There is a little, old-
fashioned English village where,

And through the fog percolated an
unpleasant drizzle which turned the
polished surface of the road into an

The mudguard of the ancient Ford
caught Aileen Rivers just below the
left elbow, and she found herself
performing a series of unrehearsed
pirouettes. Then her nose struck a

of a resentful policeman. He lifted

“Never mind about the girl; let's
have a look at your license.”

Unheeding this authoritative de-
mand, the young man stalked across
to where Aileen, embarrassed by the
crowd which gathered, was assuring
several old'ladies that she wasn’t
hurt. She was standing on her two
feet to prove it.

“Waggle your toes about,” sug-

The experiment was not made, for
at that moment the tall young man
(whe did not look so young in the
diffused light of an arc lamp) push-
ed his way to the centre of the curi-

“Not hurt, are you?" he asked
anxiously. “I'm awfully sorry—-

was right on top of you.”

A voice from the crowd offered
advice and admonition.

“You orter be careful, mister!

A More Beautiful Canada

Efforts Should Be Put Forth To
Make The Home Surround-
ings Attractive

The old saying that a home is not
a home until it is planted is true to-
day as ever. Every unplanted home
in Canada can be made more attrac-
tive by the judicious use of trees,
shrubs, vines, flowers and a well-kept
lawn. .
We are influénced by our surround-
ings to a greater degree than we
sometimes realize. Children are par-
ticularly sensitive in this “regard:
Surely a home in ‘and around which
flowers are grown is a better place
to bring up children than a home
where no attention is paid to these
friends of the plant kingdom. If
children are taught to love flowers

or make any comments upon your)

and beconte familiar with them they | R

will be filed with love for. these
things and there will be less room in
their hearts and minds for the things
that hurt and destroy.

Canada is a land of rare natural
beauty from the Bras d'Or Lakes in
Cape Breton Island to the Mountain
Ranges. of the Pacific Coast. Nature
‘has endowed this country with the
most beautiful and the greatest var-
iety of natural scenic grandeur to be
found’ anywhere in the universe,
mountains, lakes, streams, forests,
plains, waterfalls, all are to be found
in great abundance. The things
which are’ unsightly and unlovely
are made by man and it would seem
that the least we can do is, to make
these man-made places sufficiently
attractive-that they will, in some.
measure at least, be in keeping with
the great natural beauty to be found
throughout this great Dominion.

There are many good reasons why
every householder, rural or urban,
should do his or her part toward.
making the home surroundings more
attractive. In the first place, the
money spent for nursery stock or
other planting material is_a good in-
vestment and will increase the value
of a home to‘a much greater extent
than the amount spent for planting
material, Further, in the full and
satisfactory life there must be
found time for both mental and
physical relaxation and where can
one find a more satisfactory place to
get away from war-time stress and
strain than among the flowers of the
garden. .

Another reason for putting forth
a specia) effort in home beautifica-
tion work just now is to make Can-
ada more attractive’to tourists. The
tourist trade from the United States
is very important to Canada at the
present time and anything that can
be done to help increase it will be
a benefit to the Dominion as a
whole.

We frequently meet with the ob-
jection that gardens and flowers cost
too much or that they take too much
time. The truth is that it is not so
much a matter of time or money as
it is of desire and disposition. If we
are disposed to have gardens and
flowers and attractive home sur-
roundings, we will have them no
matter how busy we may be. Your
nearest Experimental Farm or Agri-
cultural College will gladly give you
information regarding suitable var-
\ieties of planting material for the
district in which you live. ‘The in-
